Abstract

Managing thyroid dysfunction is simple at first glance, the idea is to bring hormone
levels in the euthyroid range, treat with antithyroid drugs, radio-iodine or surgery
if toxic and replace with thyroxine or T3 if hypothyroid. Complexities arise when
there are coexisting conditions that affect the thyroid or are affected by thyroid
dysfunction and this review will deal with the special situations that need care when
correcting thyroid hormone levels.
